Meet James Lundgren 👋 One of the graduates from our newest batch of pharmacists! 🎓 #ClassOf2024 💊When catching up with Lundgren he shared that in 2013, after transitioning from an assistant manager at @RiteAid Pharmacy to a #PharmacyTechnician in a @Target Pharmacy, he decided to pursue his passion. Lundgren faced a dilemma: he loved #pharmacy, but thought he was too old to become a #pharmacist. The answer to his dilemma came from a friend. “My manager told me, by the time you’re done with everything you'll be 36; you’re going to be 36 anyway, now do you want to be 36 with a #PharmD or without one?’” recalled Lundgren with a laugh. That was enough for Lundgren who returned to college to finish a bachelor’s degree and enrolled in Touro College of Pharmacy. 👨⚕️His age wasn’t a barrier and Lundgren aced his #pharmaceutical studies and became one of the first students to join the school’s managed care track. “In managed care we work with the pharmaceutical and insurance companies to find the most cost-effective method of ensuring the patient gets the best possible treatment,” Lundgren explained. We're rooting for you @jlund5413, and can't wait to catch up again! 💙 💛

Just before summer hit full swing 🌞 We spent some quality time chatting with 👉 Angy Ahmed (@angyyahmed) 👩⚕️ Ahmed graduated #PharmacySchool with a rotation few #PharmacyStudents have: a semester working with the Federal Drug Administration (@fda), a perfect experience for someone who hopes to work in #DrugRegulation eventually. 💊 “I want to be in the position to bring new drugs to the market,” said Ahmed. Ahmed said that the experience at the #FDA, which was mainly remote, was both enjoyable and educational. “All the students in the program had to deliver their own presentations and we were able to listen to lectures from #DrugExperts.” Angy holds an undergraduate degree from New Jersey City University (@njcuniversity) and traces her interest in #pharmacy to some volunteering she did at a local pharmacy. “From the first day, I loved talking to people and helping the #community.” 💙 We can't wait too hear from you again, Dr. Ahmed! #TouroPharmacy #PharmacyRotation
